This sold listing is a modular home, which typically carries a lower price point than a stick-built historic cottage like 14 Mill Street. While it offers more square footage for less money, the interior features basic finishes and lacks the custom character and high-end materials found at the home for sale. The higher cost per square foot for 14 Mill Street is justified by its superior construction type and luxury upgrades.

The home on S Hillsborough Street is a solid brick ranch, but the interior photos show a very dated kitchen with older cabinets and a basic bathroom. In contrast, 14 Mill Street offers a much higher level of finish with its spa-like bathroom and modern kitchen. The price difference reflects the significant cost of the renovations already completed at the home for sale.

This sold listing was a true fixer-upper sold in as-is condition, which explains the massive price gap compared to 14 Mill Street. While the square footage is almost identical, the home for sale has been fully transformed with high-end finishes like quartz and stainless steel. This comparison really highlights the value added by the extensive modern updates found at 14 Mill Street.
